Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.

How in God’s name can they continue their advance – ISIS is stuck in one little black blob or territory. They could and should have been eliminated months ago.

Al, You should know by now that this “battle” is and always was a scam… US backed forces attacking US backed “terrorists”? This is all a propaganda PR stunt to give the American people the impression that the US is illegally in Syria to “fight terrorism” when they are still there for nothing more than regime change.

You can call me Al

I totally agree with you, it is becoming more apparent to even Yankers, by this fascicle situation as well.

And think about it… How is this “ISIS” even still fighting at all? Their weapons and ammunition would have been exhausted months ago.. So who is providing them with the weapons? And where are they getting their food supplies from as well? Use common sense here, everyone!
